-39, -37, -35, -33, -31, -29. Odd numbers are the same just backwards ;)
Answer
455
Step-by-step explanation:
(1×1) + 1 = 2
(2×2) + 2 = 6
(6×3) + 3 = 21
(21×4)+4 = 88
(88×5)+5 = 445
There are 2 ways to do this. I'm going to do it the way that I think is most simple.
You have to find their LCM which is 40. Now times 40 to 1/4 v and 7/10
The equation then becomes 10+40v=28
You simplify it: 40v=18
v= 9/20
To complete the square you must split the b term in half, then square that answer.
6 is the b term, half of 6 is 3, 3 squared is 9. You will add 9 to both sides of x^2 + 6x = 15
x^2 + 6x + 9 = 24
